Really struggling with this concept.

Please show all work so I can better understand !

Thank you so much.

**Calculate:**

\[
\int_{-\infty}^{-2} \frac{2dx}{x^2 - 1}
\]

This expression represents an improper integral with limits from negative infinity to -2. The function being integrated is \(\frac{2}{x^2 - 1}\), which is a rational function. This type of integral often requires techniques such as partial fraction decomposition and evaluation of limits to handle the infinite domain.
